"For now, it's better if you don't stay with me. The other side hasn't seen you and doesn't know you. Being with me would make things dangerous for you."
Chiang Xiao looked at him with a bit of grievance.
Her rounded big eyes were filled with reluctance.
This made Meng Xinian's heart soften considerably.
He leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
"Don't look at me like that," he said, covering her eyes with his hand and sighing. "Be obedient, and let me have some peace of mind."
Actually, Chiang Xiao knew that once he had decided on something, it usually wouldn't change.
Moreover, he was in the middle of a mission, and their unintentional encounter was fate. If she insisted on sticking together, it would show her lack of understanding.
She didn't want him to worry about her while facing possible dangers, as that would distract him.
Besides, if Chiang Xiao followed him, Liu Guoying would have to come too. She couldn't put her teacher in danger either.
